Here's a lashup I never thought I'd ever shoot - Sarnia Terminal's Plank Rd job is switching the west end of "A" yard with a GTW Burdakin Blue (Named after the President of GTW that devised this red/white/blue scheme). I've seen GTW Power so often in the area that I think it's as if this yard is sharing power with the Michigan divisions, every single visit to Sarnia or Port Huron since 1/1/2019 I've managed GTW and in Blue. Now if I can get a pair of them solo... i'd be in GTW heaven. I'll be back in February to try again :)

    Nice. Now let us hope for a GT unit on the Guelph Sub

    Well, we already had one…but one in this paint scheme.

    Very true Kevin. Anything’s possible – problem is these GT units are all set up for RCLS – paired with non RCLS units for extra traction. Hamilton has 2 RCLS jobs so that’s about the only place near here other than Toronto they could end up at this point in time.
